Best Greek Restaurants in Manayunk

From the moment we walked in and they held the door open for us to quickly being greeted and sat at our reserved table it was wonderful. The appetizers were tasty. We had the Estia chips, octopus, and the beets. Our meals were served hot and in a timely fashion. We had the lamb chops, the sea bass, and the chicken dish. Everything was done well and they gave us the necessary attention without being overbearing. All of the food was tasty and no need to add anything to enhance the flavors. It is fine dining and the price reflects that but it is worth the splurge.

Went out to an early Valentines dinner and it was delightful. Service was excellent. The owner even stopped by our table to chat and he is a really nice guy. Cocktails were delicious. The food was incredible. Started with the hummus and calamari. I had the lamb shank and she had the tuna. Definitely some of the best Mediterranean food I’ve ever had and I can’t wait to go back.

We went for a date night and it was our first time trying it out. The food was great and you get a good amount of food for the price. The lights were different colors which added to the vibe but it was pretty loud. I think it would definitely be a cute spot for girls night or a date.

This was the first time we visited Estia and we had a wonderful experience. We started with an array of apps including octopus and spanakopita-both of them were excellent and not to be missed. The spanakopita was one of best I’ve had outside of Greece-it tasted as though it were prepared by a grandmother and had a delicious buttery crust-not the usual phyllo which can often be badly prepared. The Estia chips were a bit underwhelming, and the lemon potatoes were undercooked with no sign of any citrus. Our entrees of halibut and swordfish kabob were both delicious, with the standout being the halibut -PERFECTLY cooked and wonderful with the olive tapenade. The swordfish was also excellent but ever so slightly overcooked. As first time diners and also because it was my birthday, we got an array of desserts on the house…and they were all PHENOMENAL….from the Greek yogurt cheese cake with honey, to the almond cookies and the baklava -it’s really hard to say which one was my fave-they were all outstanding in their own right. In terms of the wine, we selected a bottle and they didn’t have it…so, they offered us a comparable one with a higher price tag but lowered the price to match the cost of the bottle we ordered-that translates into fantastic customer service. Who does that?? A rare find these days…. Our server was personable, knowledgable and very attentive. Overall, we really enjoyed our experience at Estia and would return in the future

Good and service were great! Music was too loud which made it difficult to hear when trying to have a conversation.
